Welcome to my little corner of the internet. This site is all about some of my interests, which include making costumes, genealogy, and my favorite place in the world, Northern California. Thanks for visiting!

What’s New

January 2017

Wow! I can hardly believe that a whole year has gone by since my last "what's new" post. I am still adding & updating links a bit at a time. But I haven't been doing a lot of sewing for the last few years. The funny thing is that I thought that once I became an empty-nester, I would have more time to sew, but the opposite seems to be true. I have sewn some ballet costumes for my daughter's ballet school, but other than that, I have a big stack of sewing projects to do, but no time to actually do them. Maybe 2017 will bring some new sewing inspiration!

February 2016
